Extended Int 13 Translation for DOS Drives > 1 GByte—(Default: Enabled) When set
to Enabled, provides an extended translation scheme for SCSI hard disks with capacities
greater than 1 GByte. This setting is necessary only for MS-DOS 5.0 or above; it is not
required for other operating systems, such as NetWare or UNIX.
Use the MS-DOS Fdisk command to partition a disk larger than 1 GByte controlled by
the SCSI host bus adapter BIOS, when using DOS, Windows 3.1.x, or Windows 95/98.
